Strong

That I am
Am I what I am 
Strong!
The blood that runs through my veins
My ancestors that lay in the grave
Worked hard in fields 
Endured what we can't today
There blood runs deep
That I am 
I am what they where once
Strong!
I stand in a world 
Where no love but hate
Face many trial and tribulations 
Very few pray
I am what I am 
Gotta be strong during these
Days 
A mother who is labor 
Wonder how God
Created us
move her bones 
To give life
How she has put a fight
She has to be strongpraying nothing goes wrong 
She is what she is 
Strong
A person sick dieing
In bed 
Cant walk talk 
Had to be fed
Can you only imagine the pain
They feel 
How it remains 
Praying that God take them home
Until then they gotta stay strong
They are what they are God made them to endure to be strong
A child lost with no direction 
Wondering how to get there high 
While looking for someone
To just help show them a new world are and how to get by
While drifting in sin they gotta be strong 
Can't lose hope can't stop fighting 
Praying they make it through the night
Gotta be strong 
They are what they are strong
Our weakness makes us strong
Yea it might take a little long 
But through God 
Will find our way home
Stay strong
